4. Language and/or Study Abroad Requirements
The International Studies program requires that all students have a level of
proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding of a single modern
language, preferably in their area of geographical specialization equal to the
completion of the 226 level. Fulfillment of this requirement will be determined
by a CCSU instructor of the language and/or the chair of the Modern Language
Department.
In addition to the language requirement, IS students without significant life or
study experiences abroad are strongly encouraged to participate in a study
abroad program, whether a course abroad or a semester or summer exchange.
Information about study abroad programs is available at the Center for
International Education in Barnard Hall.
Note: No more than nine credits at the 400 level, as approved by the
graduate advisor, may be counted toward the graduate planned program of
study. Initially, on acceptance to the program, students are assigned to the
International Studies Curriculum Coordinator for advice. As soon as
possible, students will be assigned an advisor appropriate to their area or
thematic specialization. This advisor will normally serve as the faculty
member supervising
